Explanation:

The Isle of Wight Council owns the licenses to use Capita's Education Management System (EMS) and to enable the Council to continue use of the licenses we need to have a Support and Maintenance contract in place. The only supplier capable of providing this requirement is Capita, as any other supplier used for the provision of the support and maintenance would invalidate the licenses.
